The Victorian Hand Motif

The hand motif was very popular during Victorian time, and can be found across many different mediums of the era such as jewelry, vases, cards, and trinkets. Here are some beautiful modern day examples from Etsy...

I don't know what's more beautiful...the photograph or the actual necklace! This gorgeous necklace from Mentalembellisher features a Victorian style hand charm with a vintage typewriter key and a little copper bell. A wonderful, one of a kind piece of jewelry.
